Fedor: who has the best chance against him?
« on: January 26, 2009, 12:00:05 PM »
A lot has been said recently about him through many posts but I ask myself who could have the better chance against him? I'm not asking you who you think will beat Fedor but who has the best chance of doing so, in the not so far future?

(including UFC guys of course...)

THANKS!!! ;)

n.b.: I'm new to this forum and I love discussions here, cheers guys, it's good to be amongst friends, I know very few people who knows or likes this sports...

Btw, I think Mir has the best chance!

Mir is not a good match-up for Fedor.  Fedor would devour him.  All joking aside, Randy in top form is probably the biggest threat to Fedor.

I admit Josh is a good challenge!

And I might have agreed that Mir would have been devoured before he faced Nogueira, but now I'm a fan!
His boxing was so good!

I just browsed through this:

"I think Fedor is the best in the world," Mir said. "He's so well-rounded. There's not really one aspect of his game that strikes you as overhwleming He's not the greatest striker, he's not the greatest wrestler or submission artist.
what he does do, though, is transition from one to the other. He can really expose your weakness."

This also reminds me of lots of comments about Forrest. I like guys like fedor and forrest. It shows you that you have to have a well rounded game if you haven't been training in years. I am reading Sam Sheridans book and there is a qoute about boxing and fighting... It goes something like this.........

"You don't measure a man by his age, but his years in the ring"

this is so true, those guys are not Gracie kids or Militech cadets, they just work hard on all aspects of their game...
